The messages in the current folder are indexed on the Message Menu, one per line, in the format:

(lines) subject
defined as:
sss A three-character status field, described in the Message Status subsection.
num The ordinal message index number.
mmm The month from the last
Date: header entry, or from the From message header.
d The day from the last Date: header entry, or from the From message header.
from Either the sender name from the last From: header entry or from the From message
header.
lines The number of lines in the message.
subject The subject description from the first
Subject: header entry, truncated to fit your
screen.
The current message index entry is either highlighted in inverse video or marked in the left margin with an
arrow (->). See the -a option in the Options subsection and the arrow
string variable in the ELM CON-
FIGURATION section.
Message Status
The first three characters of each message index entry describe the message status. Each can be blank or
one of the values described below in descending order of precedence.
When a message has more than one status flag of a particular type set, the highest-precedence indicator is
displayed on the index line. For example, if a forms message (
F) is also marked as company confidential
(
C), the C rather than the F status character is displayed.
